INVENTOR. INNES SCOTT -DALGLE l SH BY HIS ATTORNEYS Patented Apr. 1,1952 CHAIR HAVING GARMENT HOLDING ATTACHMENTS I Innes Scott-Dalgleish,St. Hclier, Jersey,

Channel Islands Application February 20, 1948, Serial No. 9,692 In GreatBritain February 25, 1947 2 Claims. (Cl. 155-190) The object of thisinvention is to provide an armchair in which are-incorporated means foraccommodating in an orderly manner most of the usual day-to-day wearingapparel.

According to the present invention an armchair adapted to accommodate asuit of clothes and attendant garments in good shape without wrinklingor soiling, comprises a seat having front, rear and side edges, a backsupported above the rear edge of the seat, two arms each of which issecured to said back and extends forwardly therefrom in substantiallyspaced rela tionship with, and outside the side edges of, said seat, anda clothes hanging means carried by each arm comprising a bar rigidlysecured beneath the arm and offset outwardly from that side edge of theseat lying beneath the arm.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanyingdrawing in which,

Figure l is a side elevation of a tubular metal chair according to theinvention,

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the chair of Figure 1.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a length of tubular metal is bent to forma back 1, seat supports 2, front legs 3, bottom 1 and rear legs 5, theupper ends of the rear legs 5 being welded to the rear of the seatsupports 2 at 5. Welded to the upright portions of the back i are armsconsisting of short portions 7 substantially at right angles to the saiduprights and portions 8 parallel to the seat rests 2. The front, curvedend of a rail 9 is welded to the front end of the arm 8 so that the rail9 lies parallel to the arm 8 and beneath it. A length of bent tubularmetal H) is welded to the horizontal portion of the back I, the shape ofthe portion l0 being such that it has the appearance of an inverted Ufrom the front and when viewed from the side it is inclined backwardlyand upwardly. A bowed length of tubular metal is welded to the portionIt to form a coat-hanger ll.

Two lugs l2 are welded to each of the back uprights I, the front of thelugs being flush with the front of the uprights. These lugs are providedwith holes for the reception of screws for holding in position a paddedback rest l3.

Similar lugs 14 are welded flush with the upper surface of the seatsupports 2 for the purpose of securing a padded seat I5.

The arms 8 are provided with holes It for the reception of screwsholding padded arm rests ll.

The coat-hanger l I is adapted to receive a coat and waist coat in sucha way that they hang clear of the back of the chair and the floor andare substantially out of view from the front of the chair.

If desired, the coat-hanger l 1, instead of being welded to the portionIn as shown, may be detachable, for example by providing hooks on theportion [0 in which the coat-hanger H engages.

The rails 9 are suitable for receiving folded trousers, shirts,underclothes or the like. The rear ends of the rails 9 may be slightlycurved upwardly as shown to minimise the risk of the garments hungthereon slipping off. It will be seen that there is sufficient clearancebetween the arm 8 and the rail 9 to allow garments to be slipped ontothe rail, and that there is sufficient lateral clearance to allow thegarments to hang clear of the seat of the chair.

What I claim is:

1. An armchair adapted to accommodate a suit of clothes and attendantgarments in good shape without wrinkling or soiling which comprises aseat having front, rear and side edges, a back supported above the rearedge of the seat, two arms each of which is secured to said back andextends forwardly therefrom in substantially parallel spacedrelationship with, and outside the side edge of, said seat and clotheshanging means carried by each arm comprising a horizontal bar rigidlysecured to the forward end only of the arm and extending rearwardlytherefrom beneath said arm in spaced relation thereto and offset fromthat side edge of the seat lying beneath the arm.
